BOOK OBJECTIVES AND MISSION
The distribution of an organization's assets, and the interactions between them is a key component in understanding how a company can leverage its knowledge generating capabilities (Davenport 2000) in creating new opportunities in global markets. How global organizations become aware of their intellectual resources (knowledge) and what programs they implement in order to apply and/or distribute this knowledge, to increase competitiveness, have become a key component in knowledge management and organizational learning research. The idea for this book resulted from the observation that knowledge Management is gaining greater acceptance within organizations and delivering colossal benefits, yet there are few scholarly books devoted to the exploration of knowledge management from a global perspective.
There is a growing pool of literature that addresses the application of Knowledge Management for business solutions, but very few publications illustrate its influence on an organization's people, processes, data and technology in a global setting. We intend to differentiate this book by focusing on these factors and discussing the issues in Knowledge Management from a distinctly global perspective.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS This edited peer reviewed scholarly book seeks original contributions that explore a wide range of issues addressing all aspects of Global Knowledge Management. Manuscripts ranging from conceptual frameworks to case studies to qualitative works and empirical research are encouraged. Acceptable topics will include (but are not limited to) any of the following topics as related to Global Knowledge Management:
1. Research frameworks, methods, methodologies, architectures, and infrastructure issues in design, implementation and maintenance of global knowledge management systems and initiatives;
2. Issues in identifying and recording knowledge in a global setting;
3. Design of processes to share, use and protect knowledge globally;
4. Issues surrounding the articulation and communication of the purpose and the nature of KM and connecting it to other strategic and operational initiative and activities of the organization in a global context;
5. Role and impact of KM on process improvement in organizations in a global setting;
6. The use of specific technologies, tools and techniques in managing (including identifying, capturing, structuring, storing, refining, personalizing, distributing, or applying) information and knowledge in a global setting;
7. Cultural and organizational issues in adoption and acceptance of KM systems and initiatives;
8. The role of E-commerce in GKM
